Most furniture is built at right angles anyway. I don't know that it adds much to the design other than a mild notion of Cat in the Hat nonconformity. It would be interesting to see a rendition of this space as a Belgian narrow townhouse. Where does one put his clothes, though? ;o It’s a neat concept, but the strange angles don’t seem very practical. Most furniture is built at right angles anyway.

Bathroom on bottom floor - if you are ever confined to one floor (illness, disability even temporary) and for better access for guests. Gear/fitness can go upstairs. Put the planter on wheels and extend the top cupboards. Cut down on types/shapes of windows for more harmonious feel. Use right angles to save time and materials.

Building with SIP should make this guy very quick to pop up in a timely fashion. #2, traditional wood stoves are rather poor performers. Look into a rocket mass heater for any sort of permanent structure where weight isn't a problem. These guys are up to 6x more efficient than a metal box stove, and the extra mass of them will help regulate the temperature in you home during both the winter and the summer. #1, nice lay out, I like it.
